Biography
After the storming of the Bastille, the women of Paris under Theroigne de Mericourt and Nancy Dubost began a march on Versailles to show King Louis XVI of France the suffering of his people. Dubost and Theroigne were defended from their powerful opponents by the Assassin Arno Dorian, who succeeded in killing all of the hired killers and sabotaging the cannon on the gates out of Paris. Dubost was an able fighter herself, killing a few guards with a sword. She went on to continue the march to Versailles with Theroigne until its end in October 1789.
